Snow Conditions in Lapland – 3rd December

Following on from our previous statement on the 1st December, we would like to reassure our guests that all Santa's Lapland activities are running as planned and we don't envisage any disruption to departures. Saariselka, due to its northern location, was thankfully minimally affected by the recent rainfall, there is good snow on the ground and the weather outlook is positive.

Snow Conditions in Lapland – 1st December

As you may be aware, a number of resorts in Lapland have seen rainfall over the last couple of days. In some extreme cases, this rainfall has washed away the snow which has accumulated over the last week.

We have spoken with our Saariselka operations team this morning to understand whether the resort has been similarly affected. We are pleased to advise that, as our most northerly resort, Saariselka has seen some rain but there currently remains a good level of snow coverage in resort.

With temperatures set to drop and more snowfall predicted over the coming days, we expect all of our Santa’s Lapland holidays to take place as scheduled. We are of course keeping a close eye on conditions, and should anything change we will be in contact with guests.

We, and our dedicated teams on the ground, remain committed to doing everything we can to ensure you have a magical experience, and we will of course provide further updates if necessary. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you, and your family to Lapland.
